DEJECTED: Wenger watches on as Kieran Gibbs leaves the field after wrongly being sent off [GETTY]

Chelsea romped to a 6-0 win over the Gunners in Wenger's 1000th game in charge at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

And it is the latest in a line of big defeats at the hands of the Premier League's top four, with Manchester City winning 6-3 and Liverpool 5-1 against the Gunners this season.

Asked if the result at Stamford Bridge was similar to the City and Liverpool defeats Wenger said: "No, not Man City, I believe Man City was different. Liverpool, yes. The common thing was that it was a 12.45 game and twice we were caught at the start of the game.
